In early May, Dr Allie travelled to Grafton in New South Wales for a continuing education course on the essentials of Veterinary Equine Dentistry. The highly regarded course run by Equine Veterinary and Dental Services involves a 6-day intensive program where vets review equine dental anatomy and physiology, learn performance floating techniques, extraction of diseased teeth, as well as radiography of the equine mouth. Allie has returned to SWE with new a suite of new equipment and loads of motivation to manage the dental health of her patients!
As equine dental veterinarians our team can carry out a complete oral examination to diagnose a wide range of dental pathology and formulate treatment plans that best suit your horse.
If you leave your horses dental health until you “notice problems” there is likely to be significant pathology present, therefore we recommend regular and routine appointments to prevent problems developing. We recommend horses have their teeth examined every 6-12 month from 6 months of age.
Stay tuned for some upcoming specials on our new equine dentistry services!

🚨🚩Warning: Feeding horses straw can result in significant digestive disorders🐴🌾🚨🚩
As hay becomes more and more scarce, may horses owners have been turning to feeding hay to fill their horses feed gap. But please be warned that incorrect feeding of straw to horses can be dangerous.
We have seen a number of horses recently for colic with a history of rapid introduction of straw into their diets.
While feeding of straw can be very useful in weight reduction and calorie restriction of overweight horses or those with equine metabolic syndrome, in normal horses it is not a great option as it has very limited nutritional value and is poorly digestible.
Straws stalky fibre content can make it difficult for horses to digest as they do not have a rumen to process and breakdown into an absorbable form of nutrients like cattle or sheep. This undigested fibre can accumulate in the horses gastro-intestinal tract resulting in impaction colic. If left untreated impaction colic can be severe and life threatening.
The other problem with straw is that it can often be quite mouldy and hence increase the risk of allergic or respiratory disease in your horse.
Straw must be introduced very slowly to the diet and should never exceed more than 50% of the horses roughage intake. It may take up to a month to achieve this level and horses should be monitored closely for signs of colic at all times.
Horses being fed straw should have access to clean water at all times. Remember some horses with dental disease will not drink adequate amounts in winter due to cold water temperatures. This can be overcome by adding a kettle of warm water to the trough or offering tepid water sweetened with molasses. Image: https://dengie.com/nutrition-hub/weight-management/forage/
